Abstract: A receiver (10) for a wireless telecommunications system that provides relatively wideband signal processing of received signals without increased signal distortion so that multiple received signals can be simultaneously processed. The receiver (10) includes a specialized LNA (16), frequency down-converter (18) and ADC (20) to perform the wideband signal processing while maintaining receiver performance. The frequency down-converter (18) employs a suitable mixer (28), BPA (32), attenuator (34), and transformer (36) that are tuned to provide the desired frequency down-conversion and amplitude control over the desired wideband. The down-converter devices are selected depending on the particular performance criteria of the ADC (20). A specialized digital channelizer (22) is included in the receiver (10) that receives the digital signal from the ADC (20), and separates the signals into the multiple channels. In one embodiment, the frequency down-conversion is performed in a single down-conversion process, and the ADC (20) employs delta-sigma processing to provide digital conversion over the complete frequency band. In an alternate embodiment, the frequency down-conversion is performed in a double down-conversion process so that a less complex ADC (62) can be used.

Abstract: In an insert valve that can be mounted in an insert connector
(3) of a fluid line (1)and that has a cylindrical
presetting element (15), which is rotatable relative to a
valve housing (5) via an adjustment ring (14) and a transmission
element (12), and unrotatable relative to the
transmission element (12), and that guides a valve rod
(22) carrying the valve closing piece (28) to be displaced
to a limited extent coaxially, relative to the valve seat,
the presetting usually has an axially projecting wall
part, which, in dependence of the rotary angle position of
the presetting element leaves openings (34) open or covers
them partially or completely. With complete covering, however,
a leakage may occur, which is not desired. 
     According to the invention, however, a rotation of the adjustment
element (14) in relation to the valve seat (43)
and the transmission element (12) displaces the presetting
element (15) in the one direction axially until a first
stop (31; 21) and in the other direction until the valve
closing piece (28) bears on the valve seat (43). Thus,
here the valve closing piece (28) provides a complete
blocking of the flow when the k v -value is set at 0.

Abstract: An image coding apparatus according to the present
invention comprises, as shown in figure 1, a blocking unit
2 for blocking an image signal comprising plural pixel
values corresponding to a single image display region into
blocks each comprising a prescribed number of pixels, and
outputting, block by block, the prescribed number of pixel
values constituting the image signal in each block; pixel
value replacing means for replacing a pixel value of an
uncoded pixel among peripheral pixels positioned in the
vicinity of a coding target pixel, with a pseudo pixel
value that is obtained from a pixel value of a coded pixel
among the peripheral pixels on the basis of a prescribed
rule; and an encoder 16a for receiving the image signal
comprising plural pixel values corresponding to each block,
performing, for each block, a coding process in which the
respective pixel values are successively coded on the basis
of the pixel value of the coded pixel and the pseudo pixel
value of the uncoded pixel, and outputting an coded image
signal. 
     In the image coding apparatus 101 thus constructed, it
is possible to combine an adaptive pixel-by-pixel coding
process and a block-by-block coding process without
degrading correlation of pixel values between the uncoded 
pixel and the coding target pixel, with avoiding that
decoding of a coded signal becomes difficult. Thereby,
influence of transmission error can be converged block by
block, and the coding efficiency can be improved as
compared with the simple block-by-block coding process, and
further, on the decoder side, a decoding process for a
coded signal which has been coded without degrading the
prediction efficiency of the coding target pixel can be
performed accurately.
